XXIX
THE MONKEY AND THE CAT
(Book IX.—No. 17)
Bertrand was a monkey and Ratter was a cat.
They shared the same dwelling and had the same master,
and a pretty mischievous pair they were.
It was impossible ♪
to intimidate them.
If anything was missed or spoilt,
no one thought of blaming the other people in the house.
Bertrand stole all he could lay his hands upon, and as for Ratter,
he gave more attention to cheese than he did to the mice.
One day, in the chimney corner,
these two rascals sat watching
some
chestnuts ♪♪♪
that were roasting before the fire.
How jolly it would be to steal them
they thought:
doubly desirable, for it would not only be joy to themselves,
but an annoyance to others.
Brother, said Bertrand to Ratter,
this day you shall achieve your master-stroke:
you shall snatch some
chestnuts ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
out of the fire for me.
Providence has not fitted me for that sort of game.
If it had, I assure you
chestnuts ♪♪♪
would have a fine time.
No sooner said than done.
Ratter delicately stirred the cinders with his paw, stretched out his claws
two or three times
to prepare for the stroke, and then adroitly whipped out
first one, then two, then three
of the
chestnuts ♪
whilst Bertrand crunched them up between his teeth.
In came a servant, and there was an end of the business.
Farewell, ye rogues!
I am told that Ratter was by no means satisfied with the affair.
And princes are equally dissatisfied when,
flattered ♪
to be employed in any uncomfortable concern,
they burn their fingers in a distant province for the profit of some king.
